I keep factoring him into my plans. What to buy him - oh, must remember to get Grandad a card. Am I taking his dinner round before or after we eat? Maybe we should do him a snack brunch - oh wait, he's at Hillside - will we all go together?
Oh wait.
No.

This is normal. Painful, like an unscratchable itch. It seems to pass, to fade, but what really happens is you become aware of your new relationship with him. One where he isn't exactly gone, but where he spends all his time somewhere else, in your thoughts and in your heart. I imagine he'll enjoy your trip to Scotland together, no?
